Abstract

Starting from the results of Charles Fefferman and Janos Koll\`ar in Continuous Solutions of Linear Equations [1], we adopt a new approach based on Fefferman's techniques of Glaeser refinement to show a more general result than the one proved by Koll\`ar by using techniques from algebraic geometry. Considering a system of linear equations with semialgebraic (not only polynomial as in [1]) coefficients on R^n, we get a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a continuous and semialgebraic solution on R^n. This is different from what Fefferman and Luli obtained in Semialgebraic Sections Over the Plane [3] since they stated their result for solutions of regularity C^m on the plane R^2. More in depth, we prove that a continuous and semialgebraic solution on Rn exists if and only if there is a continuous solution i.e., if the Glaeser-stable bundle associated to the system has no empty fiber.
